The Trinity Times for July and August is now available. You can pick up a paper copy at Trinity, or download it here (we recommend the download because it saves on paper and copying costs, and you can get it and read it right now, but whichever works for you works for us!)

People occasionally ask why we have a weekly e-mail newsletter, the Trinity Update, and the Trinity Times too. (by the way, you can sign up to receive the Trinity Update each Wednesday if you wish by going HERE— and you don’t need to be a Trinity parishioner to receive it) but the answer is that the format of the Trinity Update is too brief to be able to convey much information besides who/what/when and where — there’s very little room for “how” or “why”. The Trinity Times covers things in more depth and hopefully answers these important questions.

One topic you’re read about in this issue of the Trinity Times is our backpack project. This photo is from 2014, showing the ingathering of the backpacks

Note that we’re having Morning Prayer this Sunday as Pastor Heidi is on vacation. So, even if you rarely look at the bulletin before the service, you might want to look at this one, especially if your familiarity with Episcopalian liturgy is more recent than the late 1970s, when the church switched to having Holy Eucharist as the main service. (Previous to that, in most parishes, Morning Prayer was the main service and Mass was said perhaps once a month.)

We had Morning Prayer at Trinity while Pastor Heidi attended the Diocesan Eucharist in Hartford with a group from here. Alexis Dorf was the Leader of the 10:30 AM service, and has provided us with a copy of her thoughtful and informative Homily.

This Sunday we will be having Morning Prayer at Trinity instead of our customary Holy Eucharist at both the 8 AM and 10:30 AM services as Pastor Heidi (and many parishioners) will be attending the Diocesan Eucharist with the Presiding Bishop in Hartford.

Since Morning Prayer is not a frequent liturgy at Trinity in recent years, you may want to familiarize yourself with it before the service starts or at home.

We’re having Morning Prayer this week, with services at 8 AM and 10:30 AM, both led by experienced lay leaders, as Pastor Heidi wraps up her vacation.

Use the bulletin at home, or refer to it during the service on your portable electronic device — we have excellent wifi coverage in the church and also good cell reception, courtesy of our friends at Lime Rock Park.

Here’s the bulletin for services at Trinity Lime Rock on Sunday, July 3, 2016.

Note that this Sunday we’re having Morning Prayer at both the 8 AM service and at the 10:30 AM service instead of our customary Holy Eucharist. Pastor Heidi is on vacation right now, and this brings both a change in pace and an opportunity for older Episcopalians to remember the way things were when Morning Prayer was the usual Sunday service, and Holy Eucharist was the exception.
